What is the Biophilia Institute!

Based on the perceptions of our president since the 1980s as "An ageing society is coming," we are researching solutions to problems by the growing number of older people. and we have been trying to not becoming it a negative factor and to make our society sustainable.
Yes! 　We are the institute dedicated to researching how to make the super-aging society sustainable.
We are a designated Institute of the Ministry of Education and Science, and we collaborate with many universities for research, and do activites of the Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy and the International one. And we research and develop social technologies (philosophy, policy, industry including rehabilitation devices and training systems, etc.,) that enable people to design a total lifestyle for independent daily living even if they age and become frail.

We are working on "Ideas and methods that are proposed by the rehabilitation field that have not been known for the value until now (Motivational Exercise), a system based on the appropriate use of welfare devices (Takizawa method), making it available many people to use, and a stable supply of welfare equipment that is a part of the system, which is a proposal from the field of rehabilitation.”

We are conducting Interdisciplinary studies of the wide domain based on the realization of the above in order to build a society in which elderly can live independent living.　
We believe that the joint research of many doctors is a reflection of the expectation of our clients, and we will continue to work to achieve this goal through the innovation of rehabilitation medicine, as follows: "In 2025, the necessary national burden will be 141 trillion yen (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare), and the number of elderly people needing nursing care will be 5.2 million (including 2.3 million people who are bedridden), according to the WAM projections.
We are doing research to establish a sustainable society in which older citizens can thrive, based on the premise that 30%, or 1.7 million people, will return to their daily activities indipendently, who will need nursing care.
We will continue our efforts to make further contributions to society.
